/u/whupazz is working on a reddit compatible api for lemmy, meaning most 3rd party apps should work with little or no modification. See it working with RedReader already: https://imgur.com/a/IF5HYGz

Could this mean Apollo for Lemmy 😍
Looks promising, I can't wait!
Whoa that's pretty cool. Thanks for the link
I wish!! I love Infinity.
don't tease me like that
That would be a warm, liquid dream. How amazing
That would be fantastic.
We can dream
BoostForLemmy? 👉👈
The dev of Jerboa based it off of Boost for Reddit. The only way you would get an exact copy is if the dev of boost decided to move over to Lemmy. Doubtful, but possible.
I was about to say to the post as a whole "eh, its not that bad, idk what you're talking about", and then saw this, I actually used boost for like 4 years lol
Boost is great! A lot of the 3rd party apps are lovingly made. Stinks that Reddit decided money was more important than a user-base. But now we have Lemmy, which hopefully won't even be able to be like that.
I just got into lemmy, can't imagine using reddit without boost, jeroba feels very similar to boost except for having very little customisations(the font size in the comments is bugging me a bit), but I think with time it'll improve.
There's an open PR that'll fix the font size issue. I'm using it now and it's great. I'm also personally working on trying to add my personal must-have UI options from Boost.
That would be absolutely splendid. Although i have to say i'm extremely impressed by the website UI. It's super fast and way better than most websites i've used recently.
Probably because it doesn't load a bunch of trash along with the content.
Big if true. Would make my dreams come true.
Only one of them has a quintillion dollars to spend on making their shit look good. I'm less forgiving of that one.
Yeah hopefully it becomes better. The biggest problem for me so far is the choppy scrolling.
Haha seriously tho now it seems we're getting a few more developer contributions, so hopefully its UX can improve.

Thank you so much for your work on the app, leaving this comment with it as we speak.
No probs!
Honestly, and I say this with no disrespect, but I feel like the UX is pretty lackluster across this entire ecosystem. It's understandable, since I would imagine the bulk of developer priority is going towards just making things work as reliably as possible on the backend side of things. Fortunately, given the open source nature of things, I feel like the community will fill these gaps in over time. :)
I'd love for Jerboa to be more like Boost, which I've been using for years.
Well, the good thing about Jerboa is that anyone can just make changes to it and send them to the devs, so now that more people are using Lemmy, it will improve really quickly!
Tbh really hoping that 3rd party apps shift from Reddit to Lemmy cuz man that'd be the life
Rif becomes Lif. Yes please
